12 Mill In Jail? Can't Do It. 30 Mil in Jail? No Problem

Pelosi to Bishops: Use Pulpit to Promote Immigration Reform

In the rush of events we almost missed more of the ex cathedral views from that well-known Catholic scholar, Nancy Pelosi, at a Catholic Community Conference, via CNS News:




[At 1:50] We have to respect that dignity and worth, and recognize that the church has an important role to play in that. We don’t, as a practical matter, we can’t say to people — 12 million of you, ‘Go back to wherever you came from or go to jail!’ We can’t do that…

But isn’t that odd? Back on November 12th, 2009, we posted this chilling exchange between Shomari Stone, a reporter Komo 4 News (the Seattle ABC affiliate) and Speaker Pelosi:




Stone: Do you think it’s fair to send people to jail who don’t buy health insurance?
 
Pelosi: … The legislation is very fair in this respect.

Back then, Ms. Pelosi had no problem telling 30 million uninsured American citizens that they will go to jail if they don’t buy health insurance.

And yet she bridles at the thought of jailing people who are in this country illegally, and who have usually been rounded up because they were breaking another law.

Why is that?
